Luke 6:1-16

Common English Bible CEB

1 One Sabbath, as Jesus was going through the wheat fields, his disciples were picking the heads of wheat, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

2 Some Pharisees said, "Why are you breaking the Sabbath law?"

3 Jesus replied, "Haven't you read what David and his companions did when they were hungry?

4 He broke the Law by going into God's house and eating the bread of the presence, which only the priests can eat. He also gave some of the bread to his companions."

5 Then he said to them, "The Human One is Lord of the Sabbath."

6 On another Sabbath, Jesus entered a synagogue to teach. A man was there whose right hand was withered.

7 The legal experts and the Pharisees were watching him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They were looking for a reason to bring charges against him.

8 Jesus knew their thoughts, so he said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and stand in front of everyone." He got up and stood there.

9 Jesus said to the legal experts and Pharisees, "Here's a question for you: Is it legal on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"

10 Looking around at them all, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." So he did and his hand was made healthy.

11 They were furious and began talking with each other about what to do to Jesus.

12 During that time, Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night long.

13 At daybreak, he called together his disciples. He chose twelve of them whom he called apostles:

14 Simon, whom he named Peter; his brother Andrew; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

15 Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called a zealot;

16 Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

1 One sabbath while Jesus was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked some heads of grain, rubbed them in their hands, and ate them.

2 But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?"

3 Jesus answered, "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

4 He entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and gave some to his companions?"

5 Then he said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."

6 On another sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched him to see whether he would cure on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.

8 Even though he knew what they were thinking, he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come and stand here." He got up and stood there.

9 Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to destroy it?"

10 After looking around at all of them, he said to him, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was restored.

11 But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

12 Now during those days he went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God.

13 And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles:

14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot,

16 and Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
